Este nuevo y largamente esperado controlador multi-display recibe una señal de 4k 4096x2160p a 60 fps o UHD 2160p a 30 fps mediante una entrada de Displayport 1.2 o dos HDMI 1.4, respectivamente. Esta señal puede ser repartida de manera sincronizada entre hasta 4 monitores por cada controlador, colocados de manera horizontal o vertical y mostrando cualquier parte de la imagen entrante. De este modo, se pueden lograr unos efgectos creativos impactantes.
Se pueden encadenar varios FX4 mediante cable Ethernet, y la programación de la señal se realiza desde cualquier parte de la red local con un software gratuito, Wall Designer, que facilita la colocación de imagen en los mositores. Una vez realizada la programación se puede pasara a los FX4 por red o por USB para aquellos entornos donde no hay cobertura.[:en]Advancements in digital signage requirements mean that customers demand greater freedom in creating and deploying small, medium and large scale signage projects. The Datapath Fx4 is a multi-faceted stand alone display controller that supports a choice of inputs, high bandwidth loop-through as well as 4 genlocked outputs in either DisplayPort or HDMI.
The Fx4 features a DisplayPort1.2 main input alongside two HDMI1.4 inputs offering either 4k 4096x2160p at 60 fps or UHD 2160p at 30 fps respectively. The intuitive user interface allows users to determine which input is used.
Each output monitor can take its input from any region of the input image as all of the required cropping, scaling, rotation and frame-rate conversion is handled by the Datapath Fx4 hardware. These regions can overlap to allow any output to replicate another or can be configured to support any creative splice of the source material. This allows the support of many non-rectangular screen arrangements with uneven gaps, as well as any mix of monitor orientations.
As an example, high quality downscaling allows the display of a 4k source on a single output, while other outputs can crop and upscale to create an almost unlimited multi-screen canvas.
